Ashley Morgan made a lot of recordings over the years and today Steve and I finished archiving them all, up until today’s date, on a number of formats including tape and mini-disc. Ashley Morgan had a habit of recording everything he ever did on mini-disc so this was a long process!
Most of the recordings were intact so the process was pretty easy once we had figured out how to get all of the necessary pieces of equipment to talk to each other.
Some of these recordings are going to be remastered for vinyl distribution but the majority have been catalogued and archived purely for personal reasons. While this process will almost certainly be part of Ashley’s move to analogue it’s also an interesting study in how to archive audio in a number of formats and a valuable lesson for any studio engineer, old or new.
Ashley, you owe us a big drink!

A whole box of jazz stuff arrived today and I have no idea what it’s for. I say jazz stuff, but I don’t really know, it’s all clip on microphones and stuff like that, stuff that jazz musicians use. You know the sort of thing. Probably another one of Ashley Morgan’s record label sponsorship deals that means I’m going to go and have to put another little sticker on my amp.
I’ll telephone Ashley to see if he has any idea about the delivery. If he doesn’t come round and help me before 4.00pm I’ll stick it all on eBay.
Don’t worry. I’m joking, I’m joking…

Ashley Morgan, jazz musician, jazz trumpet player and record label owner is now the proud owner of what we in the old school music business (I’m showing my age there, sorry about that readers) call a catalogue.
Ashley Morgan has spent months in the studio (with help from yours truly, studio engineer to the stars) getting everything ready before sending it off to the vinyl monkeys who handle the kind of stuff that mere studio engineers can’t do.
To order any of Ashley Morgan’s jazz records click here and get in touch with him.
p.s I almost forgot, please don’t keep sending us email about other Ashley Morgans. There are plenty of Ashley Morgans on the web, including that blasted Lady Gaga tribute act.
